Damn dyslexia strikes again. I honestly don't know where that came from, but I do apologize if you found it offense. Twas not intended that way.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Nah, it wasn't offensive. I was just confused. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

fyron do not put a silencer on my horn. I can only toot it so much, else it becomes back ground noise and easy to filter.

Also I take offence to you putting down my maps.

I have invested time in making them. I enjoyed making them.

If you do not like them then comment on what you do not like about them. Do not dismiss all of them at once as a random one off generated map.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, the idea is that over time, this will become a good map to play any of the Star Trek species on. The map of Europe doesn't change if you are playing a WWII strategy game?

I've played several games on it so far and each game turned out quite different.

Should be posting a major update to the map later today.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Tesco, no offense was meant. What I meant was that a map from scratch is a tremendous amount of work, whereas an edited random map is not much work in comparison.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

have you updated the map or anything? I would like to add it to the 1.2.5 Version of the Star Trek Mod.

Please let me know, and if you have, could you email a copy of the map to me. atrocities@astmod.com Thanks.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

So does this mean we can play the map for the PBW game? If so, are the orions well placed, a la ST:OS? (that is to say, right along the neutral zone, which is basically equidistant from the Fed, Klingon and Rom spheres of influence)

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Lets not use it for the PBW game...

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Come on now Fyron, if this relationship is gonna work out, it's gonna have some take, and it's gonna have to have some give. ST map or multiple planet colony techs for racial points, which one is it gonna be?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

I don't feel like repeating myself... go check back through the STM thread (IIRC) to find the discussion on the map for the PBW game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

I'm in the process of getting the latest Version Online with related info. Should be available in an hour or so.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

OK, the latest Version of the Star Trek Map can be found here.Star Trek Map.

Enjoy.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Can tell me what Version of the planet images you use when making this map?
I've found I'm having problems with my map such that when I load the new planet image pak now my map has tons of bogus images. I found the same thing with your map. I loaded it and some things clearly had the wrong image. (this was confirmed when I clicked the image and the game crashed :-( )

PS Cool map!!

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

It should just be with the Star Trek Mod. Try getting the full copy of the latest planet image mod pack again? Maybe you are missing some images from it?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Good question! I'm using the same Version that Atrocities included with the Star Trek mod.

I know the map does not work with the un-moded game but it should work fine with the Star Trek mod.

I've been really busy this Last week so I've not tried it with the newest verson but I understand from Lighthorse that he's experienced some problems as well. I'll try to set so time aside tomorrow evening to look into the problem.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

HAHA Sucess!. Put the SectType.txt from Fryons Qudrant mod deluxe into the trek mod and the map looks ok.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

Well after messing around with things I suspect the problem occured because Atrocities saved the SectTypes.txt using SE4Modder. This causes some of the items to be saved in a different order. (ie all planets get saved first) This does not seem to matter at all if you play a game and generate a new map but it would appear the saved maps must have a SectTypes.txt file that is exactly the same as when the map was created. Who knew!? I haven't tested it but I assume a saved map would work with a new SectTypes.txt as long as all new entries were added at the end of the file.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

The STM should have the SectType.txt from FQM Deluxe in it though, as AT incorporated FQM Deluxe. I made a few number changes to some WP entries in the latest 2.05, so that might cause some issues, but I do not think it would. There are the same number of entries, so it should be ok.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

To the best of my knowledge, I made no changes to the Star Trek map. I simply downloaded the latest Version and placed it in the STM. Then zipped the file and uploaded it.

I will work on the problem and see if I can get it to work. Sorry about his guys, the map is awsome and I know a lot of you have been dying to play it with the mod.

Re: Map for Star Trek Mod
 

It's just the secttype.txt file - it's missing many entries that the previous Version of the mod had perhaps due to the SE4modder as DavidG mentioned. If you have a copy of 1.2.0 mod, you can replace the file in 1.2.5 to fix the problem...
